SIGNET JEWELERS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2023 RESULTS

Delivers strong revenue growth and expands non-GAAP operating margin
Reaffirms full year guidance on confidence in sustainable and agile operating structure
$318 million of share repurchases completed in Q1 and authorization expanded by $500 million

HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 9, 2022 - Signet Jewelers Limited ("Signet") (NYSE:SIG), the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, today announced its results for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 ("first quarter Fiscal 2023").

"Signet's strong performance this quarter reflects our team's successful execution and agility amidst retail headwinds," said Virginia C. Drosos, Chief Executive Officer. "We generated nearly 9% topline growth, including 2.6% organic sales growth, enabled by our healthy inventory position, connected commerce capabilities and data-driven marketing. Customers responded to the breadth and newness within our assortment, particularly higher price point offerings, diamonds and precious metals. Our scale, strong balance sheet, and diversified banner portfolio provide flexibility to navigate macro level uncertainties, deliver consistent annual double-digit operating margin, and continue investing in differentiated capabilities to widen our competitive advantages."
"We are reaffirming our annual guidance and expanding our share repurchase authorization by $500 million," said Joan Hilson, Chief Financial and Strategy Officer. "While we anticipated and experienced softening within lower price points resulting from heightened inflation and the lack of stimulus, we delivered offsets through tailored assortments, digital capabilities and enhanced services to maintain higher average transaction values. At this time, we continue to focus on the factors under our control and leverage our competitive advantages as we navigate the impact of this macro-economic environment on consumer behavior. We believe that the strategies, agility and discipline of our team will enable us to continue to drive long-term value for our shareholders."

By reportable segment:
North America
•Total sales of $1.7 billion, up 5.4% to Q1 of FY22.
•SSS declined 0.9% to Q1 of FY22 reflecting higher average transaction value ("ATV") and a lower number of transactions.
International
•Total sales of $110.0 million, up 91.6% to Q1 of FY22.
•SSS grew 102.6% versus Q1 of FY22 reflecting prior year store operating restrictions, higher ATV and a higher number of transactions.

GAAP gross margin was $723.7 million, or 39.4% of sales, down 80 basis points to the first quarter last year. This primarily reflects similar merchandise margin to last year within organic banners and the strength of Diamonds Direct's bridal business which carries a lower relative margin. It also reflects the absence of COVID-related tax abatement within Signet's U.K. operations.
SG&A was $533.1 million, or 29.0% of sales, an improvement of 130 basis points to the first quarter last year. This improvement reflects the impact of the enhanced credit agreements finalized in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022,


as well as the efficiency of Diamonds Direct's operating model, partially offset by labor investments implemented in the back half of last year.
GAAP operating income was $0.2 million or 0.0% of sales, compared to $168.7 million, or 10.0% of sales in the prior year first quarter.
Non-GAAP operating income was $194.6 million, or 10.6% of sales, compared to $168.9 million, or 10.0% of sales in prior year first quarter. Non-GAAP operating income excluded $190.0 million in charges related to the resolution of previously disclosed litigation and $4.4 million in charges relating to the fair value adjustment of acquired inventory.

The current quarter GAAP income tax benefit was $55.2 million compared to an income tax expense of $26.5 million in the prior year first quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, income tax expense was $18.6 million compared to income tax expense of $26.6 million in the prior year first quarter.
GAAP diluted loss per share was $1.89, including $2.92 in charges related to the resolution of previously disclosed litigation, $2.19 in non-cash charges related to the buy-out of substantially all of the U.K. pension obligations and $0.07 in charges relating to the fair value adjustment of acquired inventory. Excluding these charges (and related tax effects), diluted EPS was $2.86 on a non-GAAP basis.
GAAP EPS excludes the anti-dilutive impact of the preferred shares in the share count based on the net loss recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the current quarter includes the dilutive impact of the preferred shares in the share count based on the level of non-GAAP net income this quarter.

Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows Highlights:
Cash used for operating activities of $135.5 million in Q1 Fiscal 2023 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $161.1 million in the first quarter last year. Cash and cash equivalents were $927.6 million as of quarter end, compared to $1.3 billion last year. The year over year change to cash and equivalents was primarily driven by share repurchases and inventory in-stock replenishment, as well as the acquisition of Diamonds Direct in the prior year.
Ending inventory was $2.2 billion, up approximately $200 million to the first quarter last year as a result of the Company's acquisition of Diamonds Direct in November 2021.



Return of Capital:
Signet's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on common shares from $0.20 per share for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, payable August 26, 2022 to shareholders of record on July 29, 2022, with an ex-dividend date of July 28, 2022.
As of April 30, 2022 Signet repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares at an average cost per share of $73.42 or $318.2 million, including $50 million of repurchases related to the Company's completion of its previously announced ASR. Approximately $645 million remains under the Company's newly expanded authorization.

Our Purpose and Sustainable Growth:
As a company with a Purpose-inspired business strategy, Signet is committed to ongoing leadership in Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability and views Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") initiatives as an important growth driver. Signet released its Fiscal 2022 Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability Report with a progress report on its 2030 Corporate Sustainability Goals. The report reflects the Company's commitment to its Corporate Sustainability framework defined by Love for All People; Love for our Team; and Love for our Planet and Products. Since the release of its Corporate Sustainability Goals, approximately one year ago, the Company has successfully integrated the Inspiring Brilliance business strategy and long-term corporate sustainability initiatives into its culture and day to day business operations.

Fiscal 2023 Guidance:
Signet is reaffirming its Fiscal 2023 annual outlook which is provided on a non-GAAP basis.

Total revenue (in billions) $1.79 to $1.82 $8.03 to $8.25
Operating income (1) (in millions)

Diluted EPS (1)(2)
$12.72 to $13.47
(1) See description of non-GAAP measures below
(2) EPS range reflects updated assumptions and share repurchases completed in the first quarter
Forecasted non-GAAP operating income provided above excludes potential non-recurring charges. However, given the potential impact of non-recurring charges to the GAAP operating income, we cannot provide forecasted GAAP operating income or the probable significance of such items without unreasonable efforts. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP operating income to corresponding GAAP operating income.

The Company's second quarter and Fiscal 2023 Outlook is based on the following assumptions:
1.The Company's outlook includes a level of consumer pressure, including inflation and the impact of stimulus, similar to what is currently being experienced.The Company's outlook does not include a material worsening of macroeconomic factors which could impact consumer spending patterns and have associated impacts on business performance.
2.Signet continues to anticipate some shift of consumer discretionary spending away from the jewelry category reflecting decelerating levels of consumer confidence and pent-up demand for experience-oriented categories during the year.
3.Signet's efforts to mitigate supply chain disruption have been effective thus far. Guidance assumes no significant disruptions in availability of inventory.
4.Annual effective tax rate of approximately 19% assumes no additional discrete items and no changes in current tax laws during the remainder of Fiscal 2023.
5.The above guidance excludes non-recurring charges for Fiscal 2023 related to the resolution of previously disclosed legal matter of $190 million, approximately $11 million relating to the fair value adjustment of acquired inventory that will be recognized within cost of sales in Fiscal 2023, and the non-operating non-cash charges for the buy-out of substantially all of the UK pension obligations of approximately $132 million.
6.Earnings per share excludes any further share repurchases.
7.Planned capital investments up to $250 million, reflecting continued investments in Connected Commerce capabilities, banner differentiation and technology harmonization.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
The following information provides reconciliations of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") to presented non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating historical trends and current period performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP measures. Items may be excluded from GAAP financial measures when the Company believes this provides useful supplementary information to management and investors in assessing the operating performance of our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

In discussing financial results, the Company refers to free cash flow that is not in accordance with GAAP and is defined as the net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.
